unbelievable way when Sharon Marshall appeared to be a teenager. having the whole world open to her she was reportedly a lieutenant colonel in the rotc and one of the best and brightest students in her class, an undeniably intelligent young woman with a good heart to match as she graduated from high school in 1986 in Forest Park, Georgia, Sharon.

She had obtained a full scholarship to the Georgia Institute of Technology with the plan to study aerospace engineering in order to fulfill her dream of working at NASA despite this incredible opportunity Sharon never went to college because she was hiding a secret Sharon was pregnant during the The last few months of high school from her boyfriend who she never told about the baby. Sharon hid the secret well from her and ended up giving birth and allowing a wealthy Texas couple to adopt the baby, however, the pregnancy had shaken up her life plans and at one point.

Apparently, she even tried unsuccessfully to run away with her boyfriend after missing out on attending college. Sharon ended up moving to Tampa, Florida to start over with a man named Franklin Delano Floyd. Despite moving in with Frank Sharon, she began dating another man and her. She soon became pregnant for a second time, this time she never told the baby's father about the pregnancy, however she decided to keep the child and raise him with Frank Sharon gave birth to their son Michael Gregory Marshall in 1988. Frank and Sharon had a complicated life The relationship was not very clear if it was romantic or not, but the two lived together and both supported Sharon's son, Michael Frank worked as a painter, but often suffered from back problems and so could rarely work due to this.

Sharon became an exotic dancer to support them, but she also began to rely on welfare checks to survive. Her coworkers thought Sharon was kind and friendly, but she was especially close to an eighteen-year-old coworker named Cheryl Commesso. Despite the women's friendship, Frank and Cheryl were known to have frequent disagreements, although there were reports of that the two may have been involved in a brief relationship one weekend in 1989. Frank Sharon and Cheryl went on a boating trip together where a fight broke out between Cheryl and Frank after the argument, Cheryl allegedly reported Sharon to the services social networks for misrepresenting her true income as an exotic dancer.

Sharon had been hiding some of the money she earned to continue receiving checks from the government, but Cheryl's call meant that Sharon no longer qualified for welfare. Aid, enraged by Cheryl's actions, Frank went to the club where Sharon and Cheryl worked and confronted her right outside the business. Witnesses reported that Frank actually punched Cheryl in the face during the altercation, shortly after Cheryl left her father's house to travel to stay with a friend of hers. but when she never called her father to tell him that she had arrived safely, he reported her missing. Her abandoned corvette was discovered at the airport and an investigation was launched to find the missing woman.

Both Frank and Sharon were seen as persons of interest, but for years no evidence ever emerged connecting them to Cheryl's disappearance, the two quickly packed up and left the area, which only increased suspicions, especially as they began using names. different while traveling. Frank and Sharon ended up getting married in 1989 and Frank claimed it was to give him Sharon's son. her last name to belong to, although the couple frequently used different aliases, they ended up in Tulsa Oklahoma, where Sharon was once again working as an exotic dancer. Sharon easily made friends everywhere the couple went, but no one seemed to like Frank as he was aggressive and unpleasant.

Frank reportedly once again got into a fight with another dancer Sharon worked with and when the woman He yelled that Sharon should leave him, he responded that if he ever left me, he would kill Frank. Little did Frank know that Sharon was making plans to leave him for a while. The man he had met at the club where she worked supposedly Sharon would have left Frank before her, but he was afraid of what he would do to her or her son Michael to her before he could leave. , although Sharon was the victim of a sudden accident.

She was found unconscious on a road and she looked as if she had been the victim of a hit and run. Frank claimed that he was asleep at the time of the accident, although he was rushed to the hospital. Sharon never regained consciousness. Her friends from her club would come to visit her. where she recovered and many claimed that she was improving, but Frank soon banned them from seeing her without explanation five days after the incident. Sharon died from her injuries, but many were suspicious of Frank's strange actions, especially since Sharon seemed to be recovering before suddenly dying.

The doctor was also suspicious and, based on old bruises he noticed on her body, classified her death as a homicide and even said that the head injury that killed Sharon may not have been caused by a vehicle, although no one could prove that Frank had been the one who ran over Sharon or possibly killed her while she was in the hospital, many came to the same conclusion, especially when her co-workers had been the ones to pay for her headstone instead of Frank. Frank soon contacted the insurance companies. life to claim the 80,000 policy he had taken out for Sharon just a few months before her death, the problem was that Frank frequently used aliases and therefore the social security numbers he provided never matched her name, After a few attempts, he finally provided his real name, Frank Delano Floyd.

That's when all of Frank's lies began to fall apart. It turned out that he had quite a criminal record. When Frank was 19, in 1962 he was convicted of kidnapping and assaulting a four-year-old girl, which resulted in her being sentenced to serve 10 years. to 20 years in prison, however, he escaped from the psychiatric hospital where he was first admitted by stealing a vehicle. Frank's shocking story was just beginning, as the day after his escape he robbed a bank and was subsequently captured again in 1972. Frank was freed, but al

most

immediately attempted to kidnap a woman from a gas station and was arrested again this time, However, he posted bail but skipped his court date.

A federal warrant was issued for his arrest, but he quickly disappeared and began using false names while on the run, that is, until he finally had to give his real full name to the life insurance company. Frank attempted to flee from authorities but was soon captured. in Georgia and put in prison to finish his sentence because Sharon's friends felt that Frank's arrest was a way to fulfill justice for his untimely death during this time, Frank had reportedly turned Michael over to social services. before he ran away and Michael was soon placed in the foster care system where he was placed with a loving family, however, everyone was shocked by the little boy's behavior. he seemed to be non-verbal and only screamed and moaned to communicate.

Frank insisted that he was Michael's father, so they frequently took the boy to visit him while he was incarcerated. When Michael was reluctant to visit Frank, a DNA test was eventually performed even though Frank initially resisted, it was discovered that despite what Frank said, Michael was not his biological son and that is why the visits were stopped. But this shocking story doesn't end here and was far from over when Frank was finally released from prison in September 1994 after serving four years. He began stalking Michael and his adoptive parents in Oklahoma. He knew he would never be given custody of the child, so he devised a plan to take him away on September 12, 1994.

Frank showed up at Michael's elementary school and demanded to see Principal James Davis. When he was not allowed to take Michael, Frank pulled out a gun and threatened Davis. Michael was eventually picked up without alerting anyone at the school, and Frank forced the principal at gunpoint to take them both to an area a few miles from the school. school On the grounds there, Frank tied Davis to a tree, leaving him unharmed, and fled with Michael in Davis' truck. When the kidnapping finally became known, he began a frantic search, but it would take two long months to discover anything.

Frank was found in Louisville, Kentucky and arrested, but there. There was no sign of Michael, even after extensive searches, there was no trace of what had happened to the boy and Frank refused to tell the police anyone to talk about Michael. Frank said it's none of your business where he is nor do I care how much. of you in oklahoma miss him or love him the first of many twists was revealed during frank's trial for kidnapping michael in 1995 vine-covered skeletal remains were found in pinellas county, florida the remains were not immediately identified, but An investigation determined that the victim had died from a beating and two gunshot wounds to the head.

That same year, a Kansas mechanic bought the truck at auction and inside found a large envelope filled with 97 photographs showing a woman. that she had been beaten and tied up where the truck once stood. the possession of frank floyd, who had stolen it while passing through the area in 1994. before finally abandoning it, the photos were compared to the unidentified remains and a wound on the photographed woman's cheekbone matched one on the recovered skull, The skeleton was soon named. as belonging to cheryl commesso frank was convicted of kidnapping michael who had not yet been found but was classified as missing and was consequently sentenced to 52 years in prison.

He then went to trial for the murder of Cheryl Commesso where he was found guilty and sentenced to the death penalty but the photos discovered in the truck revealed something even more shocking bringing to light another twist in this case the photos also showed Frank assaulting a girl but these images were much older than cheryl's a search began to find the girl's identity this is where the case took an alarming turn it was not until 2014 that sharon's true identity was officially discovered to find the truth about sharon and the photos we have to return after getting out of prison and while he was on the run for attempted kidnapping Frank married in the mid 1970's to Sandy Chipman at that time he had used the alias Brandon Williams and Sandy didn't know who he was really.

The marriage was far from romantic, especially when it had begun. with them getting married at a truck stop, Sandy had four children at the time and didn't have the cleanest record herself. She left her children in Frank's care when she had to spend 30 days in jail after being caught passing bad checks when Sandy was finally released from prison and discovered that her house was empty and that her children she were gone. It looked like Frank had taken them and moved away. It took years for Sandy to discover where her children had ended up, but she eventually found two of her daughters, Alison and Amy, living. with a social services group, despite this, Sandy was unable to locate her eldest daughter, Suzanne, or her son Phillip, her son was finally found when, as an adult, Philip came forward and took a DNA test to reveal that they were related, Frank had put him up for adoption, but what happened to Sandy's eldest daughter is even more shocking.

Sharon Marshall's real name was Suzanne Marie Savarkis and she was the daughter of Sandy Chipman. In a truly alarming twist, Frank had taken Sandy's children and divided them into different social services groups, but Ray Suzanne. Frank and Suzanne moved frequently and traversed several different states. Frank told many different stories to those around him about how he had come to care for the young girl, but in most of them he claimed to have rescued her from her when her parents abandoned her. At that time he called her by the alias Tanya Hughes, but when the young woman graduated from high school, her name was Sharon Marshall, it turns out that Sharon was kidnapped as a child by Frank, her own stepfather, who raised her, assaulted her frequently, then married her as an adult, possibly killed her, and then kidnapped her son after her death.

It was a twist that researchers found too incredible to be real, and yet it was true. It was also revealed in 2014 that after almost 20 years. Years of lies, Frank finally admitted what many had suspected at the time: he had murdered Michaelshooting him as he fled. She had hidden his body along Interstate 35, but an intensive search revealed nothing. It was later concluded that Michael's body. may have been eaten by wild pigs in the area frank floyd was never found guilty of sharon's murder although popular consensus believes he is also guilty of this crime to this day he refuses to talk about sharon's death frank is still waiting his sentencing for the murder of cheryl on death row our next case is no less shocking or tragic on august 24, 1980 gregory vilman was born to his parents jean-marie and christine vilman the family lived in panch servaion in eastern france where jean-marie worked as a factory foreman after being promoted the couple had just moved into a newly built house shortly before welcoming their brilliant baby boy, by all accounts the family was happy and successful, but Then things took a surprising turn, the Vilmon family began receiving anonymous threatening letters and phone calls promising revenge against Jean-Marie.

The letters and calls never specified why the sender wanted revenge, only that they had been seeking it for four years. The threats continued and expanded to also include Jean-Marie's parents. Then, on October 16, 1984, while playing in the yard, four-year-old Gregory. Missing Christine quickly realized that her son was missing. Christine drove through the nearby small town in a panic and she could find no trace of the four-year-old boy as she continued the search. Gregory's uncle received an anonymous phone call saying that I had kidnapped the boy, strangled him, and threw him into the Bayonne River. I have my revenge the next day, before it can be explored further.

Jean-Marie found a letter that seemed to have been sent to them at that time. Gregory. they took it read I hope you die of grief boss your money will not bring your son back here is my revenge gregory's body was found that same day near docel in the bayonne river just seven kilometers from his house he had drowned with his hands and feet tied and his woolen cap covered his face his family was absolutely devastated the gregory murder case which horrified the french public became known as the gregory affair the murderer was soon referred to as le carbo or the Crow based on a famous French film that had a similar theme to the threatening notes the family had received After an intense investigation, police found a suspect thanks to handwriting experts who analyzed the sinister letters and a key statement from a witness in 1985.

Bernard Laroche, Jean-Marie's cousin, was arrested and interrogated based on a statement from his fifteen-year-old sister-in-law, but Laroche denied being the crow and soon his sister-in-law retracted her statement saying that she had been coerced despite that Laroche was finally acquitted and released. He stood in front of reporters and swore that he believed Laroche was guilty of murdering his son and that he would kill him, but the case took another shocking turn on March 25, 1985 when handwriting experts determined that Gregory's own mother, Christine, may have written the threatening letters just four days later Jean-Marie went to Laroche's work determined to avenge the death of his son and not believing that his wife was guilty there he shot and killed his own cousin as he was leaving the building Jean-Marie Marie was convicted of murder and sentenced to five years in prison in July of the same year, Christine was charged with the murder of her son.

At the time she was pregnant with twins, but went on a hunger strike to protest her innocence for 11 days, refused to eat, and was eventually released after an appeal found she had been convicted on flimsy evidence and without real cause. . However, Christine's tragedy was not yet over when she was freed, she collapsed and reportedly miscarried one of her babies. She was not officially cleared of all charges until 1993. And Jean-Marie was released from prison after serving only two and a half years in 1987. After so much turmoil, the Wilmon family was still no closer to knowing who had killed Gregory.

For decades after Gregory's death, the case continued to haunt France and was reopened. and he was re-examined with tests carried out on the letters, the rope used to bind him and DNA tests on Gregory's clothing and saliva on the stamps used to post the letters, but to no avail. It was found to be inconclusive in 2017, the case was once. again it was reopened and this time there was new evidence resulting in three arrests, once again impacting gregory's great aunt, great uncle and his aunt were taken in for questioning along with others including more family members, the Ant was eventually freed, but the great-aunt and great-uncle refused to speak to the police.

Neither was convicted. A different tragedy soon occurred when magistrate Jean-Michel Lambert, who was in charge of the first investigation, took his own life. due to the pressure and criticism he faced because the case is still unsolved 33 years after Gregory's death, the why of Gregory's death has never been answered, but some cite jealousy within the Wilmon family as a possible cause and others suggest that the fact that the letters called jean-marie boss could mean it had to do with his work in any way. Real evidence or suspects have been found, but almost every member of the Vilmon family has been under suspicion at some point in December 2020.

The case has been reopened once again, but this time the police are determined to discover the true identity of the crow once and for all. Interviews have been conducted and police are relying on a new technology called stylometry, which analyzes stylistic syntax, punctuation and turns of phrase used in threatening letters to identify the killer. A new suspect has been identified, but so far has not yet been named. It appears Gregory Vilman's murder will soon be solved. Our next case is not a normal missing person case and has a twist that seems too surprising to be true and yet it is Nicholas Barclay who was born on December 31, 1980 as the youngest of two elders. brothers, had a fairly normal childhood in San Antonio, Texas, but as a preteen he began to develop a reputation as a problem child, Nicholas was known for having a history of physical and verbal fights with his mother, skipping school, threatening his teachers, stealing shoes and even broke into a convenience store at just 13 years old.

Nicholas had a juvenile criminal record for his antics and allegedly three tattoos that his friends had given him with an unsterilized needle. At some point Nicholas was diagnosed with ADHD. attention, his mother was reportedly so exasperated with his demanding supervision that she asked her oldest son, Jason, to come live with her to help care for the child. On June 13, 1994, Nicholas called home looking for someone to pick him up after playing basketball in his neighborhood. His older brother, Jason, answered the phone, but they refused to wake their mother, who had been working late into the night, and instead told Nicholas to walk home, but he never arrived, unfortunately with Nicholas's reputation, few believed anything was wrong when they couldn't find the 13-year-old boy, most were inclined to believe he had run away. away and would return at some point soon this theory was given credence by the fact that the day after he disappeared he had a court hearing to decide if he would be sent to a rehabilitation center but still after not returning for longer than normal and With his mother's plea an investigation was finally launched to find Nicholas for months there was no sign of him the only clue was three months after Nicholas disappeared when Jason called the police to say he could hear his younger brother breaking in in his garage when the police arrived.

There was no evidence of forced entry nor any sign of Nicholas, but they couldn't understand why Jason would lie about such a thing. After years, the Barclay family began to accept the fact that they might never see Nicholas again, that is, until This case took a surprising and unusual turn. Few missing child cases end with the boy being found, and yet in 1997, three years after he disappeared, the Barclay family was informed that Nicholas had been found alive and well. Despite this happy news, there was something quite strange. About the phone call that Nicholas had been found in Lenati, Spain after being kidnapped by a child trafficking ring that had taken him to Europe after years of being held captive, Nicholas had managed to escape from the police, he told Barclays. that Nicholas had been forced to speak only French during the three years he was away and had been injured during the time he was away from them.

Kerry Nicholas' older sister flew to Spain to identify and recover her missing brother, although things did not go as planned, as Nicholas seemed afraid of his sister, especially the fact that she might not recognize him and force him to stay. in Spain when he finally allowed Carrie to come see him. He kept a baseball cap and sunglasses on, but Carrie said she knew he was her brother. The two spent some time. We spent time together reconnecting, as Nicholas claimed that he had very few memories of his life before he was taken away, as his mind had blocked it out as an emotional response when Carrie showed him family photos.

Nicholas seemed to remember certain things and people, such as asking him if Grandpa was still inside before he was allowed to return home with Carrie, although Nicholas had to pass a test in which the police showed him family photos that Carrie had not reviewed with him. and had to correctly identify the people who appeared in them. Nicholas only did one. small mistake and that's why he was allowed to return home to texas with carrier even though the barclays were delighted to finally have nicholas back, there were some things they couldn't ignore, one of which was the most obvious, which was the fact that his brother had been blonde with blue eyes when they took him but the boy who returned from spain had dark hair and brown eyes.

Nicholas had an extraordinary explanation for his change in appearance, he said that to keep his identity a secret from the people who found him. They had carried out experiments to change his hair and eye color so that no one would recognize him as Nicholas. He also spoke with a strong French accent, but this was explained by his story of being forced to speak only French for the three years that the family was so relieved to finally be able to. They have Nicholas at home who actively ignored some of the things authorities expressed concern about and even told investigators to close the case.

A film crew

heard

about the amazing story and asked to follow the Barclays to document how Nicholas was adjusting to returning to his family. He agreed and that's when everything started to fall apart, a local private detective was working with the team and became increasingly suspicious of the dark haired, French speaking Nicholas. He began his own investigation and took a photograph of Nicholas's ears to compare with previous photos which he discovered did not match and that his ears did not age or change, he took his concerns to the authorities in February 1998, after Nicholas returned to life. with the Barclays for five months, the FBI became involved when they obtained a court order to investigate.

When Nicholas' fingerprints and DNA were taken, it was determined that the man Barclays believed was his Nicholas was actually a 23-year-old Frenchman named Frederic Pierre Bourdon. Frederik was a notorious scammer with over 500 different identities and the nickname chameleon Despite this shocking revelation, barclays refused to believe that frederick was not nicholas even when in court frederick admitted to being an impostor and pleaded guilty to passport fraud and perjury he was jailed for six years the questions revolved around This revelation, where was the real Nicholas? how barclays had been deceived and why did frederik do it although this case is completely shocking the imposter is not the only twist investigators were concerned about barclays behavior throughout the incident and his voluntary acceptance of frederik later influenced frederique into the controversy saying that even he could not believe the Barclays accepted him so easily, which aroused even more suspicion in the family.

Frederick even claimed that the Barclays knew he was not Nicholas, but that they had all pretended and followed his plan and he couldn't understand why he reported him. that when he met carrier, she had given him information about the family, telling him who they all were and what he should remember. he supposedly hadhelped him pass the police exam before he was allowed to go to the US. Frederick also said that Jason had never accepted him or pretended. In fact, all he had said to Frederik upon meeting him was good luck. The phone call Jason had made three months after Nicholas disappeared suddenly became a lead, as police said those types of calls are not unusual when someone has been murdered like the killer.

He often tries to make it look like the victim may still be alive after killing them and this is exactly what the private investigator in Frederick believes happened. He believes the family accepted it willingly because they had killed Nicholas or Jason and were more than happy. to cover it up by claiming he was the real Nicholas before it could be investigated Jason died of a drug overdose it is reported that he had long been struggling with a cocaine addiction no other evidence turned up and the case went cold frederick ended his jail sentence and left to continue stealing identities across Europe Nicholas has yet to be found, but his story has inspired the popular Netflix documentary, The Impostor.
